Abstract
INDUCED plasmas in static gases at atmospheric pressure were first reported by Babat1. A plasma torch based on inductive coupling between a radiofrequency field and a flowing, ionized gas was developed by Reed2 and later by Reboux3, Mironer and Hushfar4 and Marynowski and Munroe5. In all cases, the frequencies used were in the megacycle range.
